I bring hands-on environmental education directly to community events, museums, and festivals. At my table, you’ll find live animals, interactive activities, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn about the natural world. Whether it’s a farmers market, fair, or special event, I’m there to engage, educate, and inspire all ages.

When you book me for a vendor table, you'll receive a full educational setup that includes three ambassador animals of your choosing (depending on availability), interpretive signage tailored to your event theme or table topic, and a selection of interactive handouts designed to engage visitors of all ages. A basic first aid kit and hand sanitizer are always included to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for guests. Depending on how large the event is, I may have a colleague with me as well. I typically arrive 30 minutes early to get set up and need 15-20 minutes for clean up. Please provide at least 48 hours' notice for cancelations or rescheduling. Photos may be taken for promotional material with consent from any individuals involved.
Please provide a shaded outdoor or indoor space with a 6-foot table and two chairs. To ensure the safety and comfort of both the animals and myself, I ask that my table be located away from high-traffic or excessively loud areas, as I may be working with noise-sensitive animals. Access to power is optional but preferred. For larger events, I may request a volunteer to assist- ideally someone comfortable handling animals and engaging with a diverse range of attendees.
The safety and well-being of my ambassador animals is my top priority. Before any interaction, clear expectations will be set and upheld to ensure a respectful and safe environment. If these expectations are not met, or if an animal shows signs of stress, it may be temporarily or prematurely put away. This is a proactive safety measure - stressed animals are more likely to bite, sting, or display other defensive behaviors, and removing them helps protect both the animal and those around it.
